Doorians: Gathering Interest and Staff?

Welcome to the Land of the Green Glass Doors! What used to be a fireside camp game to me has become a strangely diverse little world to me. I don't have a 'world story' as yet, but it's a parallel world to ours, and magic and myth and legend and mundanity all meld together.

In all threads for LotGGD, there is one universal rule: the Game is always in play, but you can NEVER tell someone how it works!!! People who give it away in thread will find their pets and Doorians repossessed! And if I hear of people giving the game away via PM, they risk the same consequences. The game can be fun, so please don't ruin it for people!

How to play? Instead of bumping threads, try posting one thing that IS in the Land, and one thing that isn't. For example:

"In the Land of the Green Glass Doors, it's always sunny but never rainy!"

Some interesting things:

* All inhabitants of Greenglassia are called Doorians.

* Anthropomorphic inhabitants are called Furrians.

* Inhabitants with both human and animal characteristics are called Haffians.

* Doorians with mythical traits and powers are called Elles.

* Doorians with suitable Doorian names have increased chances of twins!

* Doorians can die if a potion reacts badly, or an adventure goes sour. If dead, they'll show up on the cert as a gravestone.

* Dead Doorians are still useful if you can get your hands on a Phantasma Potion or a Vivification Potion!

* There are rewards for RPing your character! Some mutations, races, and job classes are only available through roleplaying.

* Doorians, Haffians, and Furrians cannot be sold or traded outside of trading season. Elles can only be traded during trading season with permission, and new owner must take on the RP requirements. Doorian pets can be bred and traded at any time.

* Using a Mentis Potion on a pet has a 50% chance of creating an intelligent pet, and a 50% chance of creating a Furrian!

* Pets are breedable to pets of like breed.




I have other ideas too, like a graveyard, and a clothing shop where you can get a new fashion, and a Hair stylist, and an apocathary for those potions. Ingredients for potions will be found through regular hunts. I'm hoping in the future to be an agency and make it automated, since I lack the web coding to do so myself T_T

What I need:

SECRETARY: I am, alas, chronically disorganised. As a secretary, you would keep track of who needs growing and when they're due to grow, who won what, certing information, etc. I can accomplish loads when I have a nice list to work from! Payment could be SG (when I have some of my own), Potion ingredients, semi-custom & custom Doorians/Furrians/Haffians & pets, and occasionally an Elle if you RP.

CERTIST: Simple as that. You'd need a program that would open psds. I can provide the cert template and the needed fonts. I *loathe* certing. I can do it but oh MERLIN I hate it!!! Payment would be much the same as a Secretary's.

COLORIST: Truth of the matter is, I'm not fond of coloring. I'm not a creative colorist, though I can manage customs fine. I just can't come up with ideas on my own. I'm perfectly happy churning out line edits, templates, new poses, etc.....but coloring one shirt to be 20 unique ones? AHHHHH! No! Hence where a colorist comes in.

I'm not going to say you can't use brushes, but I won't be interested in someone who relies on brushes. I'd need to see 9-12 samples of coloring you've done, 3 with brushes and the rest without. Preferably without shading: shading can often make even bad coloring jobs look good. I want to see coloring that can stand for itself!

I'd like maybe two colorists, one for human/furrian/haffian templates, and one for pet templates when more of those are done. Coloring except for hair (which can be dyed) is standard coloring, unless a Spectra Potion is applied.

Payment would be some mishmash of coloring some for yourself to keep, occasional line edits, Potions & Potions agreements, and perhaps custom slots.

Now I bet you'd like to see what Doorians look like? Well, the Furrians and Haffians are shy right now, but there's several girls who'd love to say hi:




These went through intros on PI, but never hit generals. Hence why some of the samples have owners :)


Not Interested in Staff?

You can still help out by letting me know if these interest you, what you'd like to see, if you think you could roleplay them, and so on! Opinions will help me really refine these! ^_^

YESBRINGTHEMOMGSQUEAL

...yes I'm excited XD *tackles Zeph*

YourLoveOnly

Ooh yeees yes yeees I want these! Customization, RP, gorgeous art. Wantwantwant!

I think I'm a bit too busy to apply as staff but I would be a very active stalker! ^^

Zephyr

LOL Hi Red, should've expected you to be first :-P Now that you've gotten the OMGOSHSQUEAL out of the way....any thoughts? Also, can you log in so I can chat directly? :-P

And Hi Love! Yes, I plan to make them very customisable. Lots of clothing, hairstyles, facial expressions. So far two body types :)

red_uni387

i'm at school right now, but i'll log in once I get home XD

will there be more potions that will affect offspring? like ones that can cause Doorians to give birth to Elles?

Ryuukokoro

Heh heh heh I can't believe the Doorians are actually here. I loved them waaaay back over a year ago when they were introduced on PI. Whee!


My own entry in the original PI Intros contest:
In the Land of the Green Glass Doors, there's bookkeepers but no librarians! ;)

Zephyr

Elles - well, they have special rules, some of which are being hammered out still XD there are currently three tiers of Elles; the longer their life cycle is, the harder they are to breed successfully and the rarer they are. The average Doorian/Furrian/Haffian has two stages: child and adult. The highest tier Elle has five stages: egg, baby, child, teen, adult.

Interested in meeting a deceased Doorian who was given a Vivification Potion? :3



Hum, well....she seems a little dazed still T_T;;

YourLoveOnly

She's awesome! I'd love to see one given a Phantasma Potion as well.

Zephyr

Maybe I'll show one then - when i finish the template >_< Zombification is an easier edit than Phantasma-fying XD

Zephyr

...also, how the heck do you make an image an active link? o_O

Ryuukokoro

put an = after the "url" and before the address, in the first part of the code. :)

red_uni387

oh so pretty!! :D

and was staring at the examples and noticed they don't have jewelry on! would love to see bracelets and anklets for the shorter outfits, and headbands too <3

Neocridders

Hehehe. I've always known of this game... and I just now figured it out. XD Ahhha. Lovely.
I looove the art, I looove the idea. Loooove.


Zephyr

Ryuu, thanks for the tip. I think my account is Doorian-ified now XD

red - I'll try to do some jewelry, but it won't be elaborate - they're pretty small for tiny details.

Neocridders - I remember I was one of the last in my group at camp to figure it out, but I had so much fun trying!

Hehe. We had so many of these sorts of games when I went to camp. And I always felt so silly when I thought I understood, but then a new example came up, and my theory was proven wrong.

But, I'm excited. I like being on the side that knows that secret. It's very fun :D


Zephyr

I definitely think the idea of it helps make Doorians unique, something I haven't seen in any other adoptables ^_^

Zephyr

Well, here's a hint for you, Red:

Doorians can be happy, but never sad!

Goddesss

Doorians can be funny, but never laugh!




red_uni387

okay well that explains why none have a sad face XD

YourLoveOnly

Doorians can be preppy, but never rich!

(I think I get this ^^)

Neocridders

Doorians can be terrifyed, but never scared.
>.> Please tell me that's right...

Doorians like trees, but not plants.

Hehe. Funnnnn.


Zephyr

Yep! Only one at a time though, guys. More than that is basically giving it away!

red_uni387

erm..lesse is I can catch on...feel free to whack me if I got it wrong XD

Doorians can be silly but not troublemakers?

*hopes* sorta fits with the funny and not laugh one Goddesss posted

Zephyr


Taruia


Reality is only for those who lack imagination.

Spixy

Oo I like these <3

I wish I could help, but I'm more of a manipulist than a colorist xD
I do have photoshop and a few hours on hand every day though.

I really can't wait to RP these guys ^_^
